I posted a stressor for sale on offer up and this person wanted me to them so i did but immediately looked up this number and saw its known for scams. This is what he/she said " Thanks for your text & my name is France,I'm okay with the price and the condition posted . I really wish to be there to check it out but i don't have chance cause I'm a very busy person and i don't mind Adding $40 for you to hold the item for me.My mode of payment would be in certified check drawn from a to be on the check and your address that you want the payment to be deliver too so that i can proceed with the mailing of the payment immediately ..Thanks Banks and My shipper will come down to your location for the pick up immediately the check clears your account Please get back to me with your full name"
I received a test from this number and it said his name is Timothy Johnson. He wants to FedEx me a check for riding lessons for his daughter. The text was worded strangely. I don't know if this is legit or not!
The check will be no good, even if it is "certified", and you will be asked to send money to someone else, probably in this case the "driver" who will be paid more than a brain surgeon, rocket scientist, and most of the millionaires in the world simply for driving this imaginary daughter a few blocks to those swim lessons.
